Anyone could have taken it.

using the config tweak to add FSAA (low) definately improves graphics sharpness with very little if any performance decrease :)

Whats the cfg tweak?. Sorry if I missed it being posted earlier. :confused:

Just went to the went to the website to get the patch and read this :-

It is not recommended to use any savegames created in versions 1.00 or 1.01.

Anyone had any issues with previous save games or do they work ok?.

How do you enable AA - it's in the options, but it's disabled :confused:

Fillrate optimizer is now hidden in the 3D resolution option. It is the same thing they just changed the name.

FSAA is not fully supported yet (it removes shadows), you can't tweak it in the options menu. You can get it working by changing value in your ArmA2.cfg file.

FSAA=0; Disabled
FSAA=1; Low
FSAA=2; Medium
FSAA=3; High

FSAA will be completely supported in one of the futures patchs (Full AA suport is expected in 1.03)

I said I wouldn't bother till I could play the game decently, but I just had a 10 minute stint on a German server.

It was utterly immense... I had no idea what was really going on apart from an assault on a town...but just wondering around, watching squads move out from an airbase, getting to the outskirts of the town, covering each other, the enemy in buildings across the town, falling back, me going to the floor every time I heard bullets whiz by...:p
All this in a small southern coastal part of the map.
Amazing stuff.

And the patch has sorted out the glitches in the training at last!
 
Change the number next to FSAA in your config file, which is in your documents folder.

I'm having fun with this game, despite it running at about 20 fps, so I might have to upgrade soon.

I can't seem to work out multiplayer though, I spawn randomly, have no idea where anyone is, and can't seem to even get to the rest of my squad. Usually, I will then die from an enemy I can't see. Are there any tips on how to even find my team?

Yes this game is something special....the scope and the ambition of realism
 
You know, those who are really into this should join a clan, get proper organised games going on beats anything.

Also this guide above is insane, read some of it and the bit about 6th Sense if you want to get some Euro gaming going on, I joined Shack Tactical recently as the US time better suits me.

Pretty good video of what goes on in organised nights;

(arma 1) Not much goes on but you can see the scale and organisation.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do the mission saving that bloke that is pinned by a sniper? It's quite an early mission but I just can't do it as I always lose a team member and so it fails the mission. :( It's just getting annoying now. It's always when I'm really close as well.... Thanks.
 
Is this ranking system on all servers or is it a mod? Bit rubbish trying to get transport as no one can fly since their rank is poo.
Great fun when it takes 20mins to drive to the objective and get shot straight off.
 
I believe there are multiple game types, evolution in which kills/objectives gets you points to use better equipment and vehicles.

Then the standard game type where a pilot has to select the pilot slot, stops people being a bunch of noobs whoring stuff.

Also limits the amount of classes evenely, fire teams have a leader/automatic rifleman/assistant auto rifle/ + AA/AT/Medic.
